Fuck up shit in Arizona.

Given the circumstances why is it that every time our leaders face a problem, minorities have to endure witch-hunts like this? Very nazi-esque. I don't know who in their right mind would vote for something like this.

In addition to granting police officers the right to harass Mexicans crossing the street, Arizona now wants to keep any non-whites out of the classroom. The state's Arizona Department of Education is ousting teachers with, ahem, thick accents. Oh, and the Arizona House yesterday passed HB 2281, which would criminalize any classes that, the Daily Starreports, "promote the overthrow of the U.S. government, are designed primarily for students of a particular ethnic group or advocate ethnic solidarity 'instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals.'" This is, apparently, different from teaching Arizona students that only white men contributed anything worthwhile to society. In Tucson, "the program in the district's Mexican-American studies department simply provides historical information, which conflicts with state School Superintendent Tom Horne's assessment the program is promoting racial hatred and 'ethnic chauvinism.'"
